(include a copy or pic of the graph when you turn in your report) f. Fit a power law to your data (of the form) y = arb (1) where a is the power law coefficient, r is the separation, and b is the power. Based on your fit, what are a and b? a b= Force (Newtons) 89.876 39.945 22.469 14.380 9.986 7.337 5.617 4.438 3.595 g. Comparing Coulomb's Force Law and equation 1 above, what should a and b equal? Determine these by plugging in the value of k, the value of the charges you used, and inspection of the Coulomb Law. a= b
